Im scheduled to get root canal on monday got a call today from insurance company saying they wont cover it until july 1st. i been with them a yr...

Well almost a yr..july 1st will make a yr. My question is what can I do until then because I can't afford to pay 1065.00 .... im on antibiotics right now. I definately can't get my tooth pulled I already got three pulled. Im so frustrated right now. My teeth has a hole in it so I don't know how long I can go without a root canal. Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Have you looked at your policy to see if what your insurance company is telling you is TRUE? They've certainly been happy to accept your premiums for almost a year. What did they expect you to do? Pay for a year & not utilize your benefits? I would demand to see IN WRITING that it isn't covered until July 1st. Call them to the mat on it. Make them responsible for proving what they say. An insurance company's 1st protocol is to deny claims. They then, work through those who actually make them do their job. I had a friend who worked for BCBS. She was trained to deny first & only work the cases of those who disputed the denial. You'd be surprised how much $$$ they make because so many people take them at their word & don't wanna raise a fuss.
